BACKGROUND Intrathoracic mass is a problem faced by the clinicians worldwide which is difficult to diagnose correctly. The mediastinum although a small anatomic compartment, the pathologic processes found in it are diverse. Imaging techniques are very helpful for detection and diagnosing these lesions. The current study was conducted for assessing the diagnostic accuracy and efficacy of computed tomography (CT) guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the evaluation of various thoracic mass lesions and also to compare the histopathological findings of CT guided FNAC for evaluation of the type of thoracic lesions & its prognosis. METHODS Data for the study was collected from 50 patients referred to the Department of Pathology, in a tertiary care hospital for 16 months from December 2015 to March 2017. RESULTS Among 50 patients with intrathoracic mass, there were 37 men (74 %) and 13 women (26 %). The age of patients with intrathoracic masses in this study varied from 31 to 80 years. The mean age was 55 years. Thirty-two patients were found to have malignant tumours and 18 cases were of benign aetiology. The highest frequency of cases in this study were of adenocarcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography (CT) guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cost effective, simple, safe, highly sensitive & specific procedure with high diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis of intrathoracic mass lesions. It has few complications, rarely requiring active management. KEY WORDS Intrathoracic Mass, Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology, Pneumothorax, Pneumonectomy, Thoracic Mass Lesions
